DM's quest for work

[Drunk Monk]

I am officially off unemployment.

I think...

...I clicked the 'turn off' button that I've been so wanting to click all last year. Hopefully that's all I need to do. 

...feckin EDD is a nightmare. While disenrolling, I noticed that I've been doing something in error all last year. They still paid me out until early this year when I was making too much with all of my freelance gigs to qualify for any reimbursement. I still had to go through the application however, to keep it rolling forward. I don't think I'll get any more payments. It was all about timing of when the checks came in. My TC payment was regular. My YMAA payment became almost regular. My other side hustles came in whenever they came in. If they all landed on the same week, I wouldn't qualify for unemployment compensation. If it was a light week, then I might get some money back. 

I'm glad that this is done. I hated being on EDD, not only because I hated being unemployed but also because it forced me to jump through user-unfriendly online bureaucracy every two weeks.
